Analysis of the Cultured Microbiome of Fertilization-Stage Maize Silks (Styles) Reveals Taxonomic Relationships Across North American Maize Genotypes and Heterotic Groups

Analysis of the Cultured Microbiome of Fertilization-Stage Maize Silks (Styles) Reveals Taxonomic Relationships Across North American Maize Genotypes and Heterotic Groups

The style is the female reproductive channel in flowers, receiving pollen and transmitting male gametes through elongating pollen tubes to the ovules during fertilization. In maize/corn, the styles are known as silks. Fertilization-stage silks contain diverse bacteria, possibly originating from poll...
